When considering buying property to let, several factors should be considered:

• Capital cost of the property
• Likely monthly rental
• Likely empty periods
• Type of tenant likely to rent the property
• Activity in the market for the particular type of property being purchased
• Whether the property is close to a station, commercial or industrial district

In the area covered by our offices, the properties most easily let and which also attract the highest return, are typically one and two bedroom flats and small one and two bedroom houses.
